Abstract
This paper examines how there are four phases of emergency management, mitigation, preparedness, response and recovery after disasters. It stresses that a disaster plan can make the difference when it comes to the community's ability to respond and recover from a disaster. It also discusses how an emergency manager should establish and maintain rapport with the various departments, organizations and political leaders in the community he or she serves because good relationships and teamwork are essential when a disaster actually occurs.
From the Paper
"The knowledge an emergency manager posses can be the key to his or her effectiveness. Ideally, an emergency manager would have an unlimited amount of political, technical, and scientific information. In reality, a person can not be so "all know". Knowledge of federal, state and local laws and of regulations is a very important skill to posses. Emergency managers should also know the rules of policy making and implementation, identification of hazards and vulnerabilites present in the community and the ability to mitigate and prepare if a community's risks become a reality."

Abstract
This paper examines local, state and federal responsibility in maintaining emergency management services in preparation for natural disaster. A tornado is used as an example to demonstrate the varying levels of responsibility involved. An analysis of New York City's level of readiness is presented.
From the Paper
"Emergency management departments throughout the nation train year round in preparation for natural disasters. The more prepared the emergency management operation is in any town the more prepared, protected and secure the town residents feel. Emergency management holds responsibilities at several government levels in any disaster. The local, state and federal emergency management teams work together to coordinate the most effective and thorough plan possible in the event a natural disaster occurs.
HYPOTEHTICAL TOWN SITUATION
In the event of a tornado in Pleasant Town USA the emergency management office has several avenues it must travel to ensure all of its responsibilities are met. The federal, state and local teams all have connections and interactions with each other when a natural disaster occurs. The extent of the involvement of the state and federal offices is directly dependent on the amount of damage being done by the natural disaster. If a tornado hit Pleasant Town USA several things would occur at each level.?"

Outline:
Introduction
Lessons Learned
Changes
Conclusion
From the Paper
"The likelihood of an emergency occurring is inevitable. Although prevention serves an important role in minimizing the severity of the emergencies that are experienced, prevention is not a guarantee emergencies won't be severe. For this reason, emergency management has been the topic of a great deal of debate in recent years. The emergency response to Hurricane Andrew and more recently Hurricane Katrina, have exposed many problems with the emergency response system in America ("Katrina Compounded"). These problems greatly hindered the response effort and thousands of American citizens suffered greatly in the aftermath of the aforementioned natural disasters."

Abstract
This paper addresses possible ethical violations and how they can potentially affect medical emergency operations from the point of view of an Emergency Operations Director. Ethical topics discussed include the following: bias in treatment (or lack of treatment); confidentiality issues; criminal activity versus confidentiality; medical research within an emergency care setting; and refusal of care. Also considered are ethical dilemmas such as who gets treated first in cases of multiple injured parties. The author concludes that effective triage plans be in place to ensure that personnel know when to focus on some patients versus others.
From the Paper
"Bias in emergency medical treatment is possible for numerous reasons. Common biases include prejudice based on of race, social status, or lifestyle choices (Nordquist 2006). Known involvement in criminal activity, such as drug use, might also affect a patient's ability to secure quality care, as might availability to health insurance. Finally, a patient's family's wishes might come into account, specifically in emergency care involving resuscitation or elderly patients."

Abstract
This paper considers current trends in emergency response management and mitigation in the wake of the 9/11 terrorist attacks and Hurricane Katrina. The author contends that the purpose of mitigation is to take the lessons of immediately past disasters and analyze the actions that occurred in the area of emergency management. The author further highlights several areas that affect competent disaster management. These include effective communication among all parties involved in the emergency response. Salient examples of failures from 9/11 and Katrina are presented. The author also argues that prevention is a necessary element of disaster management.
From the Paper
"One of the paramount concerns that has been proven time and time again is that there is a lack of clear goals for change on the part of local, state and federal officials. The simple fact that these and other entities must work together to solve problems, in a pre-disaster and post disaster circumstance also challenges the cause of the reduction of lost life and property. All of these complex issues in combination with the limited time that agencies and individuals have to respond in an emergency situation can make the situation far worse, creating a situation often contrary to the goal of reducing loss and risk. (Mileti, 2004, pg. 236) To solve this complex issue, communication is key and mitigating the communication plans including back up forms of communication and chain of command plans as essential to changing the ways in which an emergency manager deals with a potential or realized disaster.

The Roles of the Three Levels of Government in Emergency Management During Hazardous Winter Weather, 2001.

Abstract
In the wake of the September 11th attacks, the author looks at how the United States is prepared to deal with emergency situations including not only acts of terrorism but also natural disasters. The author looks at the Stafford Act and the Federal Emergency Management Agency and what the brief is for these situations, with particular reference to financial relief. The author also looks at regulations for what constitutes a state of emergency, giving specific examples, and how various agencies and government bodies should respond.
From the paper:
?The severity of a natural winter disaster such as a blizzard affects the types of emergency relief called upon to prevent major damage. If the crisis is manageable on a purely local level, the city is mainly involved in plowing and spreading salt. If more physical aid is necessary, the state and county level must become involved to mobilize more equipment and human labor. Should an appeal for greater funding be necessary to address immediate damage from the federal government, the state may also be involved in such an appeal. This is particularly true, should more aid be necessary to help the victims of the emergency.?

National Emergency Management, 2007.
This paper examines national emergency laws in Japan, the United States, Canada, China and India and what they reveal about national concerns and agendas.

Abstract
The paper discusses how, with regard to national emergency laws, Japan, the United States and Canada focus on man-made disasters, whereas China and India emphasize naturally-occurring events. The paper shows how, while all five countries adhere to the same basic approach of contemplating mitigation, vulnerability and recovery, the United States and India have produced extensive and impressive bureaucratic responses to recent events while other nations have lagged behind. The paper discusses how different nations' plans are a direct reflection on what they feel are most threatening to their future security and well-being.
From the Paper
"Japan is the first of the nation's whose national emergency management will be reviewed and it does indeed provide an interesting case. Specifically, it is appropriate to look at Japan's recent national emergency legislation - legislation designed specifically to give that country greater military freedom in the event of external attack or even threat. To begin with, 2003 saw the Japanese Parliament or Diet approve three contingency bills - the Bill to Respond to Armed Attack, the Bill for Revision on the Law Governing the Security Council of Japan, the Bill for Revision on the Self-Defense Forces (SDF) Law. Essentially, these bills - which are quite complex pieces of legislation - permit the Japanese government to disavow the "abandoning war" commitment delineated in Article 9 of the national Constitution; in a closely-related vein, injunctions against strengthening or broadening the country's military operations and development have now been cast aside."

An Emergency Requiring the Elimination of Emergency Law, 2005.

Abstract
This paper takes a look at the history of emergency law in Egypt and how it has been used by almost every government in the last 60 years to deny the Egyptian people the right to freedom of speech and the right to form opposing political parties. The paper asserts that Egypt, in order to become a true democracy, as it claims it is, must eliminate emergency law so that the people of Egypt can truly practice the rights a democratic society is supposed to guarantee.
From the Paper
"Egypt may appear a calm country, not threatened by revolution, political instability or a rebellious population. However, the Egyptian government thinks otherwise. It apparently views the Egyptian people as rebellious, revolutionary and if given their right to freedom of expression, would drive the country to political instability. Therefore, a state of emergency exists in Egypt. Actually, as "Reading the Hieroglyphic" remarks "for all but eight of the past 61 years" Egypt has been under emergency law. Government after government and one political system after another has prevented Egyptians from the right to freedom of speech. Despite this, Egypt is said to be a democratic country. However, the fundamental elements of democracy is freedom of speech or expression and also allowing formation of opposing political parties. The 'democratic' Egyptian government is threatened by these elements as opposition may weaken its status and power. This law prevents freedom of speech and establishment of opposing parties, therefore, the government is using this law as a tool to grant it the upper hand and no one will even verbally criticize its actions. Although the government claims that the emergency law is a security measure for the benefit of the people, with reference to its history and the way it is being used proves that the purpose of this law is to maximize the power of the government to the extent that it can oppress the people and prevent any opposition; and consequently inhibit democracy. The emergency law is stifling democracy and development in Egypt."

Change Management in Sports-Strategic Plan Development
From the Paper
"The newly appointed Emergency Manager must lead their subordinates, the Legislature and the Governor in a clearly defined direction in the development of a strategy for implementation of change that has been identified in previous assignments. It is critical that the Emergency Manager understand the functionality and limitations of Emergency planning, National Response planning and Incident Management System planning. The operational plan will be developed in full from identification of the weaknesses or threats that exist in implementing this plan. The plan will have to be initiated through difficult choices such as outsourcing and reduction in personnel. This plan will change the way business is conducted in demonstrating how the obstacles of execution might be overcome."

"The Committee of Sponsorship Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) was formed in 1985 so as to identify and make recommendations to reduce the incidences of fraudulent financial reporting. COSO has used commonality as it relates to definitions surrounding internal controls, standards, and the assessment of control systems. In 2004, the COSO presented an expansion of the initial framework and augmented the structure to include eight more components. This change in structure was published as the Enterprise Risk Management - Integrated Framework."

Management Challenges.
This paper is a literature review regarding management in the 21st century, given the emergence of new technologies and innovations, which have radically changed management and leadership.

Abstract
This paper explains that managers play an integral role in facing the challenges and implementing the changes that can occur in the midst of an information-oriented and technology-driven society. The author points out the importance of managers in acting as mediators and implementers of change in the organizational setting, particularly in 'bridging' the communication and social interaction between the management and the organization's members. The paper stresses the importance of the role of middle managers because, having access to both high-level and low-positioned members of the organization, they are in an especially strategic position to act as mediators for the organization's management and members.
From the Paper
"However, there are also studies that propose several problems that hinder the "new manager" of the 21st century from fully realizing his/her role as potential change agents for the organization. Kerr's (2004) and Callanan's (2004) studies emphasized on this point, wherein managers often face hindrance in the form of the organization's nature itself. The lack of democracy within organizations (based on the management perspective), according to the authors, discourages managers from exercising their instrumental role in introducing and implementing change."

Management of the Future, 2004.
An exploration of how management and its functions will alter in the future in many ways.

»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper discusses the topic of business management and, specifically, describes the future of management. It also differentiates between management and leadership, while describing emerging management concepts and/or trends. It examines how the perception of the four management functions of planning, organizing, leading, and controlling will change in the future. It looks at how management is never static and how it is to be expected that the future of management will hold many exciting and diverse changes in how managers perceive and carry out their functions while managing their staff.
From the Paper
"Flexibility and transition are also keys to management of the future, and these both influence the four functions of management. Managers of the future must be increasingly open to change, and they must be flexible in their outlook. The manager who refuses to embrace new ideas and technologies will have no place in management functions of the future, while the manager who wholeheartedly embraces change will find opportunities for advancement and success in the organization. Mangers who cannot take on more active roles in their departments may also face difficulties in adjusting to their roles in the future. Technology, flexibility, and the ability to deal with change and fluctuations in the corporation will all be importance management techniques for the future."

Abstract
This paper discusses the future of management, explains the differences between leadership and management, and describes emerging trends in management. The paper also examines the author's perception on the four functions of management.
From the Paper
?Each of these functions is essential to management to ensure its success, and the success of the organization. Without these functions, managers can lose focus on areas of priority, causing a decline in productivity and profits. Although these functions are important, managers must conduct themselves as leaders, and not just manage the functions. The functions are a tool that will keep managers on track, but they must also remember to be innovative, and communicate effectively."
